New Comic Day!

Hey X-Maniacs, I figured I should take some time away from my studies to throw a quick New Comics Day post up. One more day of summer school and then I have 10 days off before the fall semester starts up. However, tomorrow is my sixth and final Spanish test, and it looks to be the most difficult one of all. So yeah, today has been all about the studying for me... But even the most dedicated student needs a break, which is exactly what this post is for me. A slight refrain from the Spanish flashcards that have come to dominate my summer.

But you're not here to listen to me detail my study habits(at least I doubt you are...), you're here to see what I picked up today at the comic book shop! First off, I decided to give Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #1 a shot, after very nearly not bothering to... If not for my sister, I honestly doubt I'd have brought that comic at all. Maybe DC will shock me and Emerald Warriors will be worth reading. Me? I doubt it. Moving on, I also picked up Batgirl #13, Invincible Iron Man #29, Shadowland: Blood on the Streets #1, Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier #2, Thanos Imperative #3, Zatanna #4, Booster Gold #35 and X-Men #2. I also grabbed the Invincible Ultimate Collection Volume 2 hardcover, which contains issues #14-24 as well as a few extras. Yes, after the third Invincible tpb, I am officially hooked. Maybe one day this coming week I'll try to do an Invincible post to explain why the third trade was SO amazing. Then again I still have a half finished Robin post sitting in my files, so I wouldn't hold my breath on an Invincible post... Anyway, let me know which comics you want to see reviewed here(and whether you'd like to see a Picto-Review for them), and that'll do it for me tonight. It's time to throw on my headphones and get back to those flashcards. Until tomorrow, X out.

Hey good luck dude! And I picked up a lot of the same stuff as you so our comparisons should be interested, I'd like Batgirl a review and the Blood in The Streets review, just because I'm not reviewing that issue :P

Thanks for the luck JT... I'm gonna need it! :P Seriously though, unless I score like a 30% or lower on this test, I'm all but assured an A. But being the perfectionist, I still want to get a score in the high 90's on this last test. I just went over the flashcards again, and before I start to study some culture stuff, I figured I'd respond to a few comments(before going back to the flashcards again... sigh).

Only two reviews? No problemo mi amigo. Hopefully I can have them up tomorrow(you know, if I get around to reading them!)

Wooooooooooooo X is almost done with schoool! Whoooooooo can't wait I bet. Geez just 10 days off? Lol. I don't go back until....September 6th. And I can't wait.

But seriously, good luck on that test sir. I know you'll ace it. You're a super genius like Brainiac! Brainiac X! But I don't ask much of you this week X, lol, I just ask for some reviewing of Batgirl #13 (can't believe it's issue 13 already) and Zatanna #4.

Hey guys, thanks for all of the well wishes! They must have really paid off, since I got a 102% on my test today! :D I SQUASHED that test! I even picked up the two bonus questions, which were to list 30 one or two letter Spanish words(which was pretty easy), and then to list a Spanish word that used all 5 vowels(which took a LOT of head-scratching before I figured one out!). Needless to say I'm a bit giddy now.

I read Zatanna and Batgirl this afternoon, and I practically finished with the reviews for both(regular for Batgirl and Picto for Zatanna), but I haven't had the chance to spell check the posts, so I'm gonna leave 'em until tomorrow. I'll read the Blood in the Streets comic tonight, then I'm gonna sleep for about 12 hours or so, and when I wake up I'll put together a Picto-Review for that comic too. I should have 'em all up by 5 or 6-ish tomorrow afternoon. And then... I don't know. Since I have a few days off, I figure I should def flood this blog with new content, the only thing is coming up with said new content...

Awesome dude, I was gonna say you should download AIM, then me, you, Marc and Falisha can do a Four-way chat or something tomorrow night. And of course anyone else who wants to join. The download link is: http://www.aim.com/
